Great Patsy episode

Patsy is offered the chance to be interviewed for style advice during a television makeover.

This is a very enjoyable episode with some great character insight and very funny moments.

The plot focuses more on Patsy and we have some funny and sad reflections on her past. There are also some solid cameos from famous faces that work well. As ever the banter between all characters is excellent.

There are lots of memorable scenes like Edina's exchanges with Saffy about their respective love lives and Patsy's stories about her mother. Patsy's television debut is probably my favourite scene.

All performances as excellent with Joanna Lumley standing out and Jennifer Saunders, Julia Sawalha and June Whitfield as strong as ever. This one includes nice cameos from Kathy Burke, Dawn French and Adrian Edmondson.

For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
